INTRODUCTION. 



Si 



THIS work relates to the descendants of Harmen Schuerman, 
who is found on the island of Manhattan in 1649; and it 
is entitled the Schuremans of New York — using the American 
spelling of the name — to distinguish this line from that of Jacobus 
Schuurman, who settled on the river Raritan in New Jersey in 1719- 
20, and who came from the Netherlands, pausing in New York for a 
few days only. 

The name is an ancient one in Germany ; but it is found also in the 
Netherlands, and it does not appear whether it had an origin in the 
latter country, independent of the German line. The spelling in 
the Netherlands several centuries ago was u e r, which has given 
place to u u r in that country, and to u r e in America.

The name is found in Germany, about the year 1300 a.d., when 
Hermann Scuremann held, in fee, a hide of land (from sixty to one 



2 SCHUREMANS OF NEW YORK 

hundred acres) at Scuren (Scheuren, near Dortmund, Arnsberg, West- 
phalia), his liege being the Count of Arnsberg. The shield appears 
in Norman shape, white, divided by a vertical line, with a horizontal 
line having pendant points. This horizontal fillet with its points, 
called a cadency, indicates that he was the oldest son. 

Johann Schuremann is, later on, in possession of the same land, 
and of a "manse " at Ostburen (parish of Vronebern), (meaning a 
farm); the grange Ellershof, at JBrochausen; and a "manse," at 
Holten (parish of Buderich). 

Hermannus appears in 1351, and is called the clerk, or " priest- 
clericus." 

Johann S., Esquire, appears in 1359-68, not serving nor armed, in 
the retinue of the noble (Lord) Hermann von Rudenberg, and Count 
of Arnsberg. 

Everhart S. appears in 1370. 

Johann Schuyrmann, in 137 1, at Arnsberg, is enfeoffed — for him- 
self, as well as his brothers, Everhard and Heinrich — with the 
granges at Bredden and Wagenberg (parish of Husten); the farm at 
Horst (parish of Balun); the manse at Scheuren; the manse at Hol- 
lend; the Ellershof; the manse at Rerstburen (parish of Osbern); 
and a " Burglehen " of twelve marks at Arensberg (*". e., tenure of a 
castle, and the land attached to it). 

Heinrich S., in 141 1, obtains this " Burglehen." 

Johann Schiirmann, from 1381 to 1393, is provoost (an ecclesiasti- 
cal officer) at Soest, and bailiff at Arensburg. His helmet is adorned 
with two buffalo horns. 

Elizabeth S. is abbess, 1422-46, at M. Maasenheodiike. 

Heydenrick S., and his son Euert, in 1437, put their seals to the 
Westphalian branch of the Land Union. 

Johanna S., nun at H , in 14 — , and Evert S., in 1485, were 

members of the C fraternity, at H . 

In Cologne, in keeping of the Administration of the Endowment 
for Studies, there is a pedigree of the Schuremann family. 

From this family descended the wondrous child (" wunderkind "), 
Anna Maria von S., born at Cologne, Nov. 5, 1607, died in 1678, in 
the Labadist community at Wieuwerd, Friesland, unmarried. She 
left behind her several learned writings; among them, the Eucleria, 
or happy lot, a defense of the teachings of Jean de Labadie; also the 
Opuscula, in Latin, Hebrew, Greek, and French. 

An etching made by her, when she was twenty-three years old, giving 
her own likeness, is in Cologne, in the possession of a Mr. W .

It is drawn so beautifully, and executed so carefully, that it would be 
worthy of the best masters.* 

A specimen of her elegant penmanship is given in the subscription 
to her portrait, in the edition of 1648 of her Opuscula, in the words 
following : 

" Cernitis sic picta nostros in imagine vultus : 
Si negat ars forma, gratia vestra dabit." 

This may be translated as follows: 

" You see my countenance as depicted in a portrait : 
If art refuses symmetry, your favor will supply it." 

The picture itself is poor — not to say disagreeable. It is said that 
her picture in the edition of 1650, also, is poor; but that the one 
in the edition of 1652 is good. A fine likeness of her is given in 
Cats's works, edition of 1828, oct., Amsterdam, vol. ii., p. n; but the 
one is poor in the edition of 1658, folio, Amsterdam. The best portrait 
of her, probably, is the one in the National Gallery, London. 

Anna Maria was granddaughter of Friderich von Schurman, of 
Antwerp, Netherlands, and her grandmother was of the family of the 
Counts of Lumey. On the night of the day upon which Christopher 
Smith was mangled and burnt, under the orders of the Duchess 
of Parma, Oct. 4, 1564, Friderich and his wife fled from Antwerp, for 
Cologne, abandoning property and position, rather than their evan- 
gelical faith. Smith had been the monk Fabricius, at Bruges, but 
he had accepted evangelism, and left the monastery and married. 

Frederick, son of Friderich, married, in 1602, Eva von Harf, of a 
noble family. Her father was von Harf, called also Herr von Harff, 
and her mother was Lucia Slann. They were of Cologne. Freder- 
ick was then living in the Newburg lands. He had four children, of 
whom Heinrich Frederick, born in 1603, was tne oldest. He died 
in 1632: whether he was married has not been ascertained. The 
second was Johann Godschalk, born in 1605, and died in 1664, un- 
married, apparently. He was an evangelical minister. He went to 
Switzerland in 1661, and returned home in the year following. 
While he was in Switzerland he heard de Labadie preach, and wrote 
home about him. The fourth child, Wilhelm, died in his sixth year. 
The father, Frederick, conducted the studies of his daughter, from 
her twelfth year until his death in 1623. The mother — perhaps be- 
cause of the terrible war that prevailed in Germany, 1618-48 —

removed her family to Utrecht, in the Netherlands, where she died 
in 1637. Anna Maria had from this time for twenty years the care 
of two aunts, one of whom died at the age of eighty-nine, and the other 
aged ninety-one. Her brother John had exercised a paternal care over 
her; but he died seven years later. De Labadie had been called to the 
church at Mittelberg, Zealand, shortly after John had met with him in 
Switzerland, and the first house that he visited in Utrecht was Anna 
Maria's. She was carried away with the Labadist teaching, and she 
cast in her lot with that community. Jacob Cats, the popular Dutch 
poet, wrote of her house in Utrecht as edel pand — elegant cabinet. 
She was visited in this house in 1645 by Louisa Maria Gonzaga,yfo;z<r<?<? 
of the king of Poland. Cats brought her into notice through his verse, 
which praised her without stint in quality or quantity; but he tells in 
mournful numbers that she was wedded to her books. He had 
offered marriage twice, once as a bachelor, and then as a widower.* 

The secretary of Louisa Gonzaga wrote as follows: " She [Louisa] 
could not see without admiration the marvellous works that she 
[Anna Maria] had made with her hands, of painting, portrait, and 
illumination, and of engraving, with burin and diamond, on copper 
and upon glass . . . yet she was more astonished that she could 
speak in so many languages and talk of so many sciences. She an- 
swered, in Italian, Monsieur of Orange, who had spoken by order of 
the Queen; and she argued very subtly, in Latin, upon some points 
of theology. She responded also very elegantly in my own language 
to a compliment that I made for Madame, the Marshal's wife. She 
spoke Greek with Mr. Corrade, chief physician of the Queen. In 
fine, she spoke with us in other languages: for besides the Greek, 
the Latin, the French, the Italian, the Spanish, the German, and the 
Flemish — which is her own — she had much knowledge of the Hebrew, 
Syriac, and Chaldaic. . . ." 

She visited Cologne in 1653 and stayed two years. Afterwards 
she spent two years at " Lonmonde hey Vianen," but returned to 
Utrecht because of her brother's leaving for Switzerland. 

William Penn and George Fox — one or both — visited her at Wieu- 
werd in 1677, and an account of the interview is given as follows: 
" After some discourse from both sides, . . . Anna Maria Schur-

man began to speak, and gave an account of her former life, of her 
pleasure in learning, and of her love for the religion in which she 
was brought up, but confessed that she knew not God nor Christ 
truly, all that while. God had visited her at times, yet she never 
felt such a powerful stroke, as by the ministry of Jean de Labadie: 
and then she saw her learning to be vanity, and her religion like a 
body of death, and, therefore, resolved to despise the same, desert 
her former way of living and acquaintance, and to join herself to 
this little family, that was retired out of the world. This and much 
more she spoke in a sensible frame, and with a serious mind, not 
without some trembling."* 

Heer Cats gave a likeness of Anna Maria, and under it opened a 
Dutch poem, as follows : " Whoever shall come to see this handsome 
picture, may be assured that he sees a glory above all other women. 
From the beginning of the world, down to this very day, no one has 
equaled her, nor may hope to do so hereafter." Then he broke off, 
and resumed, in prose, as follows : " But no one should think that I 
have written too broadly, as is wont to happen in eulogistic verse. 
No, not so, but be yourself the judge, whether my eulogistic verse is 
appropriate. I ask then whether any one of you has ever known a 
maiden, who is so well experienced in the Netherland, German, 
French, and Latin languages, that she could speak therein correctly, 
and write letters and verses therein. That was so familiar with the 
Greek Bible, and the Hebrew language, that she could read the 
original, and write thereupon. That was so far advanced, in Italian 
and English, that she could use books upon affairs of state, written 
in Italian, and the excellent theological books in the English lan- 
guage. That was so learned in the Rabbinical, Hebrew, Chaldaic, 
Syriac, and Arabic writings, that she could understand them, and 
use them in the exposition of the Holy Scriptures. That has in pur- 
pose, with God's help, to perfect herself therein, and then to add the 
Samaritan, Ethiopic, and Persian : awaiting only the needful books, 
for the effecting of her excellent purpose. That was so familiar with 
historical, poetical, and oratorical writings, and with the liberal arts, 
and with philosophy and other sciences, that she could lecture 
thereon, and write treatises on the weightiest subjects. That was so 
proficient and judicious in theology, whether textual, doctrinal, prac- 
tical, or controversial, that she could treat the subtlest scholastic 
question. That still occupied herself daily in theology. That had

to yield to no master, in the art of penmanship, but could surpass 
them all ; and could print handsomely in Hebrew, Syriac, Samaritan, 
Ethiopic, Greek, Latin, and Italian characters, and could write in 
a great variety of hands and styles. That was very skilful in draw- 
ing and painting. That could embroider silk flowers. That could 
print in miniature or water-colors. That could make her own like- 
ness in boxwood, with a penknife. That understood engraving, and 
could make images in wax. That was skilled in music, and could 
strike the lute. Whose likeness of herself, drawn artistically, with 
the aid of a mirror, we here give to the reader in a copper cut, en- 
graved by me." * 

The likeness of Anna Maria Schuerman, taken from Cats's works, 
octavo edition of 1828, Amsterdam, is given on the page opposite 
hereto. 

The Percy Anecdotes say of her that " she was the boast not only of 
Germany, but also of the Low Countries, since she was born at Co- 
logne, and her parents were natives of the Netherlands. More univer- 
sal talents than this lady possessed have perhaps never been known 
in either sex ; and the sciences and the arts acknowledged the 
dominion of her genius with emulative obedience. At the age of 
six years, and without instruction, she cut in paper the most delicate 
figures ; at eight, she learned in a few days to paint flowers, which 
were highly esteemed ; and at the age of ten, it cost her only three 
hours' application, to learn the art of embroidering with elegance. 
But her talents for higher attainment did not develop themselves till 
her twelfth year, when they were discovered on the following occa- 
sion : Her brothers were studying in the room where she sat ; and 
it was observed that whenever their memories failed in the recital of 
their lessons, the little girl prompted them, without any previous 
knowledge of their tasks, except that which she gained from hearing 
the boys con them over. This incident, together with other eviden- 
ces that she had given of her extraordinary facility, determined her 
father to consult the bent of her inclination in the studies she should 
follow ; and from that time, with the velocity of serial flight she 
traversed the vast regions of sacred and profane learning ; and at 
last arrived at the possession of all human sciences, together with a 
profound knowledge of divinity, and of the Holy Scriptures. She 
perfectly understood the German, Low Dutch, English, French, 
Italian, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Chaldaic, Arabic, and Ethi-

opic languages, and was also endued with the poetic fire, and pro- 
duced some fine compositions in verse. Her knowledge of the liberal 
arts, gained her equal applause with the sciences and languages ; 
she understood music scientifically, and played on several instru- 
ments with great skill ; and she excelled in painting, sculpture, and 
modeling. It is said that having executed her own portrait in wax, 
with the help of a mirror, some pearls, which seemed to adorn the 
image, stood out so naturally that no one would believe that they 
were wax, without the experiment of touching them with a needle. 
Her letters were valuable not only for the elegance of their style, but 
also for the beauty of their characters, which were judged to be in- 
imitable ; so much so that every stroke of her pen was sought after 
as a cabinet curiosity. All the great men, who were contemporary 
with her, solicited her correspondence." 

The name of Anna Maria appears with various spellings. The 
Germans had it " Schurman " and " Schurmann." Cats had it usually 
" Schuermans," but once as " Schuurmans," i. e., Schuurmansze or 
Schuurman's she, or daughter of Schuurman. In the Opiscula, her 
name appears in its Latinized form "a Schurman," except in the 
French writings, where it is usually "de Schurman." But singularly 
enough she signs an elegant Latin poem — which is given below — 
"a Schuerman," as if she meant to emphasize her claim to be 
counted a Netherlander. Perhaps her mother was of the Low Coun- 
tries, with the name of Slaan, instead of " Slann." 

Heer Cats sent to Anna Maria, Dec. 1/12, 1655, a complete 
copy of his works, with a complimentary letter in Dutch verse. She 
responded in a Latin poem, a copy of which was submitted by the 
compiler to competent Latin scholars, who could discover no flaw in 
its Latinity. It is given below, with a translation by the compiler 
into English verse, which will convey the meaning to English readers, 
although it lacks the dignity and terseness of the original.

The other line of Schuremans in the United States, is descended 
from Jacobus Schuurman, " who came from Holland to this country, 
as the associate and intimate friend of the elder Frielinghuysen, 
afterwards the distinguished pastor of the united churches of New 
Brunswick, North Branch, Millstone, and Six Mile Run. With this 
eminent servant of Christ, Mr. Schureman labored in the good work 
of promoting the Redeemer's kingdom in that favored section of 
the church; and by his faithful and judicious co-operation con- 
tributed to the maintenance and dissemination of that pure system 
of truth which is happily, to this day, inculcated in those congrega- 
tions, and followed with the blessing of the Most High. This 
gentleman was respectable for his literary acquirements, as well as 
for his piety. He wrote several pieces of poetry, which we are in- 
formed display genius, and do honor to his memory." * 

Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen came from Holland to 
America, in the ship King George, Captain Goelet, in 1720, or perhaps 
the end of 17 19, as he preached in New York, January 17, 1720, [for 
Rev. Henry Boel,] and settled immediately as pastor of the Reformed 
Dutch church at Raritan, Somerset County, N. J. . . . The place 
of his residence was about three miles west of New Brunswick, and 
thence he visited and preached at all the points where his services 
were required. Near his residence was a small church, known as 
the church at Three Mile Run, afterward removed to New Bruns- 
wick. He married a daughter of Albert Terhune, of Flatbush, 
L. I. f He brought with him from Holland, according to the 
custom of the Church, a schoolmaster, Jacobus Schuurman, who

held also the position of chorister and voorlezer [or prelector]. 
Quite early in his ministry, he married Eva Terhune, and about the 
same time Schuurman married her sister Antje, and resided upon 
land near Three Mile Run.* An account of that Schuurman and 
his descendants is given in Schuremans of New Jersey, Wynkoop, 
1902. John Schuurman, son of Jacobus, married Antje De Riemer, 
widow of Peter Stryker, and had a son, James Schureman, who 
married Eleanor Williamson, of Cranbury, N. J., and was the most 
celebrated of that line. The compiler is his grandson, through Rev. 
Richard Wynkoop and Catharine Schureman. Below is a likeness 
of the compiler.

Schuremans of New York. 



I. Harmen Schuerman is assumed to be the founder of the New 
York line of Schuremans. The earliest mention of him that has 
been found, is given by Dr. E. B. O'Callaghan, as follows: " 1649, 
June 3. Release by Harman Scheurman of all claim against Cornelis 
Maersen, deceased, on account of the purchase of a tract of land on 
Manhattan island."* The spelling Scheurman, must be an 
error in the transcription, or in the original record. The descen- 
dants appear with the spelling S chuerman, which has been 
anglicized by interchanging the e and the r j except in the Royalist 
branch, which went to the British provinces, in 1783. They dropped 
the e, and some of them (but only a minority) allowed the pronun- 
ciation to be softened into Shureman. In the other branches, the 
pronounciation Skureman has been retained. If he was known as 
Harmon Schuerman, it would suggest Netherland origin; but H^rm^n 
Schuerman would look more like German. The names of the 
descendants appear more frequently as S c h u u r m a n, in the church 
records. They appear also as Harmenzen; especially the children 
of Frederick, son of Harmen. 

This Harmen should not be confounded with Herman Schiine- 
man, ex Holsatia [Holstein ?], clerk, unmarried, aged 28, who 
arrived with Joshua Kocherthal,f in 1708, and marrried, May n, 
171 1, Elizabeth, daughter of George Mullers, from Hamburg, 
according to the records of the West Camp (N. Y.) church, which 
describes Herman as born in Hamburg. He also founded a family. 

What children Harmen Schuerman had, does not appear defi-

nitely; but Frederick Harmenszen seems to have been one of them. 
His wife was Christina Jans. 

Nanning Harmentse, Fred. Harmentse, and Dyrick van der 
Heyden, made an "information," September 7, 1687, before Nicholas 
Bayard, Mayor of New York, reciting that Nanning and Frederick, 
and some thirty-three other persons, went out from Albany, in the 
fall of 1686, with his Excellency's pass, to trade with the Ottawa 
Indians. That they reached the Ottawas' Lake (Huron), where 
they were captured and robbed by 120 French and Indians, and 
were carried to Onjagra, on this side the great lake; that on the way 
the French captured Capt. Macgregory's troop of 43 persons 
including Van der Heyden. That they were taken from Onjagra to 
Cadarackque, a fort beyond the lake, where they were obliged to 
work hard, and were treated barbarously. Thence they were taken 
to Mont Reall, where they were confined until the arrival of Gov. 
De Nouville, upon which they were confined closely, and were sent 
on the day following to Quebecq, where they were obliged to work 
for farmers, for their victuals. That the informants and one other 
person, escaped by night from Quebecq, and reached Albany, mostly 
by water. The information was signed by Dyrick van der Heyden, 
Nanning Harmetsen, Fredryck Harmetsen. Further information 
was signed by Nanning Harmentse, Frederick Harmentse, Derick 
van der Heyden.* 

The Protestants of New York, made a petition, City of New York, 
30 December, 1 701, to King William III., for a redress of grievances. 
Naning Hemesen, with seven other persons, seems to certify the list 
for Albany; and that contains the names of Fredrik Harmesse, 
Elbert Harmense, Nanny Harmens, and Johannes Harmense. f 

Naning Harmesen was among the freeholders and inhabitants of 
Albany, who signed an address to Gov. Cornbury, October 2, 1702.1 

Thys Hermanszen and Maritje Jacobs had a child, Jacob, 
baptized, March 10, 1670, Dutch Church, N. Y. 

The name of Mary Scurman, aged 70, follows that of Frederick, 
aged 80, in the " List of the Town of New Rochelle, XBr. 9, 17 10 "

Child of Harmen Schuerman: 

2. Frederick Schuerman. In the records of the Dutch Church, 
New York City, in the "Register of the members here since the 
year 1649," appears the name of Frederick Harmenszen, van Bremen. 
In the same register appear Dombe Hermanszen en Dirckje 
Theunis, s. h. v. [his house wife]: also, Lysbeth Jans, h. v. of Pieter 
Hermenszen. Christina Jans, h. v. Fredrick Hermanszen, was re- 
ceived to church membership at New York, August 30, 1674. 
Frederick and Christina had children baptized at New York, 1659- 
75; and they had other children within the same period, whose 
baptisms have not been found. 

Frederick was, probably, at one time a resident of Stamford, 
Conn.; for his daughter Elizabeth, was described as from " Santfort " 
at the time of her marriage in 1687: and Rachel, who also seems 
to have been his daughter, is described in the marriage book, in 
1696, as from " Standfort." 

In the List of the Town of New Rochelle, in 17 10, mentioned 
already, appears Frederick Scurman, aged eighty. Mary Scurman, 
aged seventy, follows: it is probable that she was his sister, and that 
his wife, Christina, was dead. 

Children of Frederick and Christina Schuerman: 
3. Geesje "Harmenszen" was baptized, December 25, 1659, in 

New York. Geesje Schuuermans was married, December 10, 

1681, New York, to Bruyn Hage. He died before 1686. She 

married, 2 nd , Herman Janszen, widower.

Verveele. 

9. Lysbeth Harmenszen, baptized September 22, 1665, New York.

married, December 14, 1687, New York, to Caspar Pieterszen 
Nebij, y. m. of New York — called elsewhere Mabie. Elisabeth

Perhaps this Jacob was son of Matthias. (See under N? 1). 

17. Judith, born 1673. In the New Rochelle List of 17 10 ap- 
pears Judy Scurman, aged thirty-seven, following ffrederick 
Scurman, aged forty-three. It is probable that she was his sister, 
for his wife appears as Elizabeth, 1695-1730. 

18. Dinah Harmenszen, baptized January 24, 1674, New York. 

19. Ephraim Harmenszen, baptized June 30, 1675, New York. 

20. Rachel Schuurmans. Notice of intended marriage was entered

that name, as "a young woman from Standfort (Stamford?) and 
Denijs Janszen (Doolhage), young man from Flushing (L. I.), 
both residing in New York." The notice was withdrawn under 
a protest from Harlem. But " Rachel Scheurman, h. v. van 
Denys Janse," appears as a baptismal witness, January 19, 1701, 
New York. Rachel Schuurmans was received to church mem- 
bership, on confession, February 27, 1702, New York. 
Children: 

21. Frederick Doothagen, baptized March 12, 1704, New York.

8. Johannes Schuerman (Frederick, 2 Harmen J ), baptized April 9, 
1662, New York, and recorded Harmenszen. He married Johanna 
Verveelen, daughter of Daniel and Aletta (Schaets) Verveelen, of 
Hackensack, N. J. * 

He was probably the " Johannes Scuerman " who owned land in

Jacob Scuerman in 1702. * 

Johannes's widow married Nicholas Petersen. 

Children of Johannes and Johanna Schuerman: 

23. Daniel, baptized May 24, 1708, Hackensack, N. J.: died about 
1749: married I st , Willemptje Blaauvelt; married, 2 nd , Elizabeth 
Helyer. 

24. Johannes, baptized January 17, 1711, Tappan; parents recorded 
Johannes Schureman and Anne Verveelen. 

25. Althea. She is mentioned in 1749 in the Will of her brother 
Daniel. 

15. Frederick Schureman (Frederick, 2 Harmen 1 ), born 1667: was 
living in 1743. His wife, Elizabeth Thome, of Flushing, L. I., was 
living in 1730. 

John Thorn, of fflushing, Queens County, in his Will, dated Janu- 
ary 5, 1697, proved July 23, 1709, mentions his wife, Mary, and, 
among other children, Elizabeth Shuerman.f Her mother was Mary 
Purcell or Pearsall. \ 

ffeadrick Scuerman, of Flushing, and Elizabeth his wife made 
a conveyance of land on Long Island, December 4, 1695. § 

ffeadrick Scuerman, of New Rochelle, on November 18, 1701, 
obtained a conveyance of land in that place. Two agreements were 
made on the same date, as to the actual contents of the plot. In one 
of them he is described as a cooper. | 

Frederick Scharman appears as a freeholder, at New Rochelle, in 
1708.I 

ffrederick Scurman, aged forty-three, appears in the List of New 
Rochelle in 17 10. The name of Judy Scurman, aged thirty-seven 
(born 1673), follows his. This is puzzling, for his wife's name was 
Elizabeth, and she was living at that date. 

Frederick Scurman was one of the freeholders, who made a grant 
of land, April 17, 1724, for the erection of a mill. %

Frederick, [but may have been son of Matthias, born in 1670]: 
married, i st , Alida ; 2 nd , Annetje Jeffers, probably. 

Jacob Scuerman, of New Rochelle, obtained, January 21, 1 701/2, a 
conveyance of sixty acres of land at that place. § 

In the New Rochelle List of 17 10 appears Jacob Scurman, aged 
forty, followed by Altia Scurman, aged thirty-eight. 

It is possible, but not considered probable, that this was the Jacob 
baptized in 1670, son of "Thys. Hermanszen." (See under N? 1.) 

Children of Jacob and Alida Schuerman: 

30. Jacob, aged eleven, in the List of 17 10. It is probable that he 
died, and was succeeded by a Jacob, of the half blood : for 
John, half-brother to this Jacob, mentions Philip, son of 
Frederick, as possible claimant to inherit as heir at law, which 
suggests that Frederick was oldest brother to John.

and Frederick; his "corsins," Jacob and John Schureman, and 
his " corsin " Philip, whom he styles son of his brother Frederick; 
and he gives to the same Philip ^50 as a bar to any claim to in- 
heritance as heir at law.* 

37. Frederick. His Will, dated March 16, 1775, was proved No- 
vember 8, 1776. In it his wife Jane is mentioned. Although his 
Will was not proved until a year later, it is probable that his death 
preceded that of his brother John; who thereupon made his own 
Will, in which he mentioned as a possible claimant to inheritance 
from him, Philip, son of Frederick. 

38. Jacob, probably; see above; married Jane Parker or Pareseite. 

39. Jeremiah, " youngest brother," as mentioned by the descendants: 
born about 1725: died 1776: married Magdalene de Veaux. 

40. Christiana. Her Will, made jointly with her sister Mary, dated 
May 5, 1797, proved January 10, 1798, mentioned Frederick, son 
of her brother Jeremy, and Jeremy's widow, without naming her. 
Also William and Sarah, children of their brother Frederick. 
Also Hester and Jane Bonnet, daughters of their brother 
Jacob. Also the estate of their brother John. William was 
named executor.f 

41. Mary. (See under N°. 30.) 

Some one of the Schuermans — probably Philip — married Sarah 
Elizabeth Rhinelander, daughter of Philip Jacob. 

23. Daniel Schuerman (Johannes, 8 Frederick, 8 Harmen '), bap- 
tized May 24, 1708, Hackensack, N. J.: made his last Will, August 
30, 1749-t He married, i st , Willemptje Blaauvelt; 2 nd , Elizabeth 
Helyer. He was admitted a freeman of New York City, in 1745, 
and obtained a lot of land there, April 20, 1847.! 

Children of Daniel and Wilhelmina Schuerman: 

42. Annatje: baptized June 25, 1727, Tappan, recorded as Schuur- 
man. In the Will of her father she was mentioned as Hannah, 
wife of Anthony Ackerley.

45. Catharine, born September 28, 1739: baptized October 14, New 
York: married, April 13, 1759, New York, Stephen Stecland. 
Tradition calls him Stephen Steel. Staal is the Dutch word for 
steel. 

Child of Daniel and Elizabeth Schuerman: 

46. Sarah, born November 15, 1744: baptized December 16, Tappan; 
the mother's name recorded as Hilyer. She was probably the 
Sarah for whom, and for Dennis Dunscomb, a marriage bond was 
given January 18, 1762.* 

37. Frederick Schuerman (Jacob, 16 Frederick, 2 Harmen '). His 
Will, dated March 16, 1775, proved March 8, 1776, described him as 
a carpenter; mentioned his wife Jane, his daughters Christean and 
Sarah, and his sons Philip, John, William, and Frederick; directed 
his son Philip to divide the estate when the son Frederick should be- 
come fifteen years of age; and appointed the sons Philip and John 
executors.f 

Philip and John were probably the " corsins," mentioned in the Will 
of John 36 : and the other "corsin," Jacob, son of Jacob. 38 
Children of Frederick and Jane Schuerman: 

47. Philip. He was probably the Philip who married Sarah Elizabeth 
Rhinelander. They went to St. John, N. B., in 1783. 

48. John. He seems to have joined in the deed of the land that had 
belonged to the bachelor, John. 39 

49. William. He seems to have been a grantor in the same deed. 

50. Christina. She is mentioned in 1775, in her father's Will. 

51. Sarah. She also joined in the deed. 

52. Frederick. He also joined in the deed. He seems to have 
been known in New Rochelle as " Old Master." Perhaps he 
had been a schoolmaster. 

38. Jacob Schuerman (Jacob, 18 Frederick, 3 Harmen '). He mar- 
ried, March 14, 1736, New York, Jane Parker. A minute in a family 
record in a Bible, of the birth of his daughter Jane, January 13, 1737, 
has the mother's name Pareseite. 

He joined at White Plains, in 1775, in a protestation against the 
action of the patriots. His death was in 1783, shortly before the 
expatriation to St. John, N. B. (See Jacob. 30 ) 

Children of Jacob and Jane Schuerman:

Children of Gerrit and Wyntje Schuerman: 

68. Daniel, baptized March 12, 1755, N. Y. ; witnesses, Antony 
Ecclaij and Annatje Schuurman, z. h. v. : the mother's name 
recorded Van der Hoeve. (See Annatje 42 .) He probably died 
young. 

69. Leah, baptized January 26, 1757, N. Y.; witnesses, Juriaan 
Man der Viel and Dorothea Van der Hoeve, z. h. v. She is said 
to have been brought up by her aunt Catharine, Mrs. Stephen 
Steel, and to have been lost with a vessel, on a voyage for the 
West Indies. (See Catharine 45 .) 

70. John, baptized October 10, 1759 : married, i st , a Miss Valentine 
or a Miss Day ; 2 nd , Miss Leonard ; 3 rd , Catherine Scott. 

47. Philip Schuerman (Frederick, 37 Jacob, 16 Frederick, 2 Harmen 1 ), 
married Sarah Elizabeth Rhinelander, daughter of Philip Jacob 
Rhinelander. He took the Royalist side, and he removed to St. 
John, N. B., in 1783. 

A petition was made to the Provincial Congress of New York, 
August 21, 1775, by Philip Rhinelander, William Rhinelander, Jun., 
Jacob Rhinelander, John Acklay, and others, setting forth that 
Philip Schurman, carpenter, one of the " unhappy persons " taken 
by the American army at Boston, was " seduced to that employ " about 
twelve months before, by Jonathan Hampton ; the more easily, as 
he was a very young man, and had just ended his apprenticeship at 
the time of his going to Boston. His friends had written to him to 
come home, and were well informed that he would have done so if 
he could have gotten away. They purposed to send his brother, 
John Schureman, on the day following to the camp ; and they asked 
from the Provincial Congress, a letter to General Washington.* 

A deposition was made, August 7, 1776, by Joshua Ferris, that he had 
seen Philip Scureman and Frederick Secore on board the Phoenix, 
July 26th, and that they had come on shore with him. In a further 
deposition, August 10th, Ferris admitted that Scureman and Sea- 
cord had gone on board the Phoenix, in his company.* 

At the close of the Revolutionary War, a great migration took 
place from the States to the British Provinces. " In April, 1783, the 
first fleet left New York for the River St. John, with Royalists. 
There were about three thousand men, women, and children. The 
landing was on May 18th, on the present Market Square, from the 
Camel, Union, Aurora, Hope, Otter, Spencer, Emmett, Thames,

Spring, Bridgewater, Favorite, Ann, Commerce, William, Lord Town- 
send, Sovereign, Sally, Cyrus, Britain, and King George. Vessels 
continued arriving through the summer. In the month of October, 
the full fleet arrived, with twelve hundred persons." * 

One of the Schuremans had been shot down by the "cowboys," 
and New Rochelle was uncomfortable for the Royalists. There is a 
tradition that one or more Schuremans went to the West Indies. 

Child of Philip and Sarah E. Schureman: 

71. Philip, the only child. He married Magdalene Schureman," 
daughter of Jacob. 54 

54. Jacob Schureman, Jun. (Jacob, 38 Jacob, 16 Frederick, 3 Har- 
men 1 ), married, in 1760, N. Y., Magdalen Parent. f They immigra- 
ted, in 1783, to St. John, N. B. Jacob was drowned in St. John's 
River. 

Jacob, with other persons, was taken in arms, under Lounsbury, 
in August, 1776, and was imprisoned in the common gaol of Kings- 
ton, N. Y. They petitioned the Representatives of the State of 
New York, February 19, 1777, for leave to take the oath of alle- 
giance. Again, on March 26th, they made a petition to the same 
effect, stating that they had been prisoners for almost seven months; 
were sickly, destitute of money, and anxious about their families. 
In the same month, a committee, which had been appointed to de- 
vise means for clearing Kingston gaol, reported that Jacob and 
others were penitent for their conduct, and might be released, after 
having taken the oath before one of the Secretaries of the Conven- 
tion. They were pardoned May 23, 1777.! 

The land of this Jacob, at New Rochelle, sixty or sixty-six acres, 
that had been conveyed, in 1702, to a Jacob Schuerman, apparently 
grandfather of this Jacob, was placed in the hands of trustees for 
creditors. They were appointed October 8, 1784, and the instru- 
ment was recorded February 15, i785.§ 

Child of Jacob and Magdalen Schureman : 

72. Magdalene, the only child, married Philip Schureman," only 
child of Philip."

He served in the Revolutionary army when about seventeen or

descendants wrote that his first wife was a Miss Valentine or a Miss 
Day. His second wife was a Miss Leonard, and his third wife, 
married about 1824, was Catharine Scott, widow of Benjamin Loder.f 

A John Schureman was a private in the New Jersey " State 
Troops." These were volunteers from the militia, and were liable 
also to military duty beyond the State boundaries. J Thus this John 
may have found himself in northern New York. But John 70 was 
brought up in New York, and we would expect to find him among 
the New York soldiers. He spent his later years in New Jersey, and 
he may have gone thither while in his youth. Johan Schurman and 
Catarina Merlelie had a child, Michael, baptized October 2, 1779, at 
Schenectady. § " Johan " suggests German, not Netherland, descent,
